Welcome to the MU10
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU10
Tone Generator!
The MU10 is a sophisticated, yet highly compact MIDI tone
generator, specially designed for use with computers and MIDI music
systems.
With the built-in host computer interface and MIDI terminals,
the MU10 is ideal for any computer music system — from connection
to a simple laptop to integration in a complete MIDI studio. The host
computer interface is especially convenient, allowing you to directly
connect it to your computer without the need for a special MIDI
interface.
Featuring Yamaha’s high quality AWM2 tone generation technol-
ogy, the MU10 has 676 Normal Voices and 21 Drum Voices (percus-
sion sets), with full General MIDI compatibility — including
Yamaha’s new XG-MIDI. It provides 16-Part multi-timbral capac-
ity and full 32-note polyphony for playback of even the most sophis-
ticated song data. Three independent digital effect sections — with
11 types of Reverb, 11 types of Chorus, and 43 different Variation
effects — can be used simultaneously and give you enormous versatility in “sweetening” the sound. Plus, the MU10 has two convenient A/
D INPUT jacks, allowing you to connect external audio sources
(such as a microphone, guitar, or CD player), and mix those sources
with the AWM2 Voices of the MU10.
Because of all the above, as well as its exceptionally portable size
and convenient battery/AC adaptor power supply, the MU10 is an
invaluable tool for all MIDI musicians and performers.

Precautions
Your MU10 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rules given
below:
■ LOCATION
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during
the daytime).
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
• Strong vibration.
■ POWER SUPPLY
Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
This instrument runs from either an optional AC adaptor or batteries:
(When using AC adaptor) Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B, PA-1207 or equivalent AC Power Adaptor to power your instrument from the AC mains. The
use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor
and the instrument.
An AC adaptor should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is
not to be used for an extended period of time.
Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms.
Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with
high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using
multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation
errors, and possibly damage.
Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the AC
adaptor cable.
(When using batteries) When the batteries run down, replace them with a
complete set of new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries, and
different kind (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from
the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

The MU10 — What It Is and What It Can Do
What It Is
The MU10 is a compact, highly portable MIDI tone generator, designed
especially for use with computers and MIDI music systems. Specifically, it
is a high-quality XG- and GM-compatible tone generator, with 676 Voices
and 21 drum Voices (percussion sets). The tone generator can be played
either from an external MIDI device (such as a keyboard or a sequencer) or a
computer. The MU10 also includes three independent digital effect sections
— with 11 types of Reverb, 11 types of Chorus, and 43 different Variation
effects — for enhancing the sound of the Voices.
The MU10 features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to
directly connect it to your Macintosh or IBM PC/AT (and compatible)
computer—eliminating the need of installing a special MIDI interface to your
computer. With the proper sequencing software on the computer, the MU10
can be used for both recording and playing back of sequencer data. The
internal tone generator also allows for comprehensive control over all Voice
and effect parameters — via incoming system exclusive messages, transmitted from a sequencer or other MIDI device. (Refer to the MIDI Data Format
section on page 25 for details on controlling various MU10 parameters.)
The MU10 also features two convenient A/D INPUT jacks, allowing you to
connect external audio sources and mix those sources with the Voices.
Moreover, the built-in effects can be applied to the external sources as well
as the internal AWM2 Voices.
The MU10 is also the latest instrument in the Yamaha line to support the XG
format, a new addition to the General MIDI standard. In short, XG provides
for more instrument sounds and variations, and greater expressive control
over voices and effects.

10
What It Can Do
Here are a few application ideas on how you can use the MU10. The list
below is not comprehensive, but is meant to be a general guide to the
possibilities and provide a starting point or springboard for your own creative
ideas and explorations.
■ Using in a MIDI Music System
Connect the MU10 to a computer with MIDI sequencing software, and
you’ve got comprehensive music making power—for recording, composing,
arranging, practicing, and editing. Combine it with a laptop computer, and
you’ve got a complete and portable music production system that’s ready to
go wherever you go. The built-in A/D Inputs let you connect an external
audio source (such as a microphone or guitar), allowing you to play along
with the MIDI tracks.
The MU10 is an ideal addition to larger MIDI studios as well, since it gives
you a high-quality 16-Part multi-timbral tone generator.
The MU10 — What It Is and What It Can Do
■ Multimedia
Since it’s portable and compatible with the XG and General MIDI formats,
the MU10 is a natural for multimedia applications. Because of its portability
and great sound, it’s the only tone generator you’ll need for recording,
editing and playing back MIDI data on your multimedia creations.
■ Using With a MIDI Keyboard in Live Performance
Simply connect the MU10 to a MIDI keyboard and play the dynamic Voices
in live performance situations. With the built-in A/D Inputs, you can even
use the MU10 as a simple 2-channel mixer. Bring a computer or MIDI data
player to your gig, and you can even mix another instrument (such as guitar
or bass) with the MIDI-driven Voices of the MU10.

Using the A/D INPUT Function
The MU10 also features an A/D INPUT function that allows you to connect two
external audio sources — such as a microphone, guitar, or CD player — and mix those
sources with the Voices of the MU10. For example, you could use this to sing or play
a guitar or keyboard over backing tracks played with the MU10 Voices from a MIDI
sequencer. With a MIDI keyboard connected to the MU10, you could plug in a CD
player and play keyboard parts along with your favorite CDs.
The built-in effects of the MU10 are also applied to the INPUT sources.
■
NOTE
●
When the A/D INPUT 1 jack (or both 1 and 2) is connected, the A/D INPUT
function is turned on and the maximum polyphony (simultaneous notes) of the
MU10 is reduced from 32 to 30.
●
Audio signals received via the A/D INPUT 1 and 2 jacks are mixed to one part,
then processed through the effect sections and mixed with the internal Voices of
the MU10.
●
When the power is turned on, the A/D Input parameters are reset to the follow-
ing values:
Input Gain — Mic
Bank Select — 0
Receive Channel — OFF
Volume — 100
Chorus Send — 0
Reverb Send — 40

Using the A/D INPUT Function
■ Changing the Input Gain Setting
When the power is turned on, the A/D INPUTs are automatically set to
receive mic level signals, such as a microphone or electric guitar. To use a
keyboard or a CD player, you will need to change the setting from “mic” to
“line.” This is done by sending the MU10 a specific MIDI System Exclusive
message (usually from a sequencer).
● Operation
1 Connect a MIDI sequencer (or other MIDI device) to the TO HOST
terminal or MIDI IN terminal. (See page 14 – 16.)
The device must be able to transmit System Exclusive messages. (Refer
to the owner’s manual of the particular device or software for detailed
instructions.)
2 Send the appropriate message from the sequencer.
To set the A/D INPUTs to “line,” send this message : F0 43 1n 4c 10 00 00 01 F7
To set the A/D INPUTs to “mic,” send this message : F0 43 1n 4c 10 00 00 00 F7
(n = device number)
For more details, refer to the MIDI Data Format section on page 25.
Continue with steps 1 - 3 in the previous instructions to use the A/D
INPUTs with the new setting.

MU10 Overview and Features
This section covers the performance modes of the
MU10 and describes in detail Voice- and Effectrelated controls and features.
The MU10 has 32-note polyphony and is 16-Part
multitimbral, which means it can play up to 16
different instrument Parts (one Part per each of the
16 MIDI channels), each Part having its own
Voice. Up to 16 different Voices can be sounded
simultaneously.
The MU10 features both XG and TG300B
performance modes. Normally the MU10 plays in
XG mode. However, since it automatically
recognizes which mode to select based on
incoming MIDI data, you can easily change the
mode by MIDI System Exclusive messages that
you program in sequencer data, at the head of your
composition.
Please note the following:
• Turning on the power of the MU10 will
automatically initialize all MU10 settings,
or parameter values.
• Since the MU10 requires about half a
second to change modes when it receives a
mode change message, be sure to insert at
least one blank measure at the top in order
to allow enough time for the mode to
change before your actual music data
begins.
● XG Mode
In XG mode the MU10 will play XG-compatible
multitimbral data, as well as multitimbral data
created for the GM System Level 1 format.
In XG mode the MU10 can:
• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 480 Normal Voices and 11
Drum Voices.
● TG300B Mode
In TG300B mode the MU10 will play multitimbral
music data created for TG300B-compatible tone
generators. TG300B mode also provides compatibility with the GM System Level 1 format.
In TG300B mode the MU10 can:
• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 579 Normal Voices and 10
Drum Voices.
■ Voices and Elements
An MU10 Voice can be made up of one or two
elements (i.e., sounds), depending on the complexity of the Voice. Many Voices are made up of only
one element. Two-element Voices are made up of
two one-element Voices, and may be configured in
a variety of ways.
The number of elements in use determines the
maximum number of simultaneous notes (polyphony) which the MU10 can play at any given
time, depending on the amount of incoming MIDI
Note data. For details about the number of
elements used in each Voice, see the XG/TG300B
Normal Voice List on page 42.
■ Normal Voices and Drum Voices
The MU10 has two types of Voices—Normal
Voices and Drum Voices. (In this Owner’s Manual,
in general the word Voice refers to a Normal
Voice.)
The distinction between a Normal Voice and a
Drum Voice is as follows:
• A Normal Voice is simply a pitched Voice
which can be played on a musical scale from
low to high, such as a piano or trumpet. The
MU10 has 676 Normal Voices.
• A Drum Voice is a complete set of drum and
other percussion sounds, each sound having a
fixed pitch. Each sound is assigned to a specific
MIDI Note number (which also corresponds to
a key on a MIDI keyboard). The MU10 has 21
Drum Voices.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
21
MU10 Overview and Features
■ Maximum Polyphony
The MU10 can play a maximum of 32 notes
polyphony at once. (When the A/D INPUT 1 jack
or both the 1 and 2 jacks are connected, the A/D
INPUT function is turned on and the maximum
polyphony is reduced to 30.) However, the actual
number of notes that will play at any given time is
determined by the number of elements in use
across the 16 Parts.
For example, if you use only one-element Voices,
you can achieve the full 32 notes maximum
polyphony. If you use one or more two-element
Voices, however, maximum polyphony will be
reduced accordingly.
The MU10 is a last-note-priority tone generator,
which means that if it receives more than 32 notes
of MIDI Note data at any time, earlier (first) notes
will automatically cut off to accommodate the
most recent (last) incoming notes.
■ Part Priority
Each of the MU10’s 16 Parts corresponds to each
of the 16 MIDI channels (1 – 16). If incoming
Note data exceeds the maximum polyphony, the
MU10 will prioritize which Parts are played first,
in the following order, from higher priority to
lower:
• Channel 10 (Drum Part), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11,
12, 13, 14,15, 16.
Therefore, if you are creating your own music data
using sequencer software, you should assign your
most important Parts (such as melody and bass) to
higher priority MIDI channels (i.e., lower MIDI
channel numbers) in order to preserve the integrity
of your composition. Note that with the GM
System Level 1, the Drum Part is always assigned
to MIDI channel 10.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
22
■ Element Reserve
The MU10 has an Element Reserve feature that
lets you reserve a specified number of notes for
certain Parts, in order to keep notes from being
“stolen” from those Parts by other Parts if
incoming MIDI Note data exceeds maximum
available polyphony.
For example, if you specify an Element Reserve
value of “10” for Part 1, then Part 1 will always
keep 10 elements for itself. You can set Element
Reserve values with MIDI System Exclusive
messages (see XG Native Parameter Change on
page 30, and <Table 1 - 4> on page 35).
■ Selecting Voices
The MU10 not only contains the 128 basic GM
Voices and GM drum set, but many variation
Voices as well—to give you access to a total of
676 Normal Voices and 21 Drum Voices.
In XG mode, the basic 128 GM Voices can be
accessed by selecting Program numbers 1 – 128.
Other Voices can be accessed by selecting both
bank numbers and Program Change numbers. The
Voice bank can be selected via MIDI Control
Change Bank Select (MSB and LSB) messages. In
XG mode, the MSB value determines the Voice
type (Normal, Drum), while the LSB value actually
selects the bank (excluding the SFX bank).
When the MU10 is in TG300B mode, the Voice
banks can be selected with appropriate MSB
numbers, as LSB is fixed.
Lists of all available Voices along with bank and
program numbers are provided on pages 42 – 49.
Note that the 128 MIDI Program Change numbers
consist of 0 through 127, whereas the 128 MU10
program numbers consist of 1 through 128.
Depending on the sequencing hardware and
software you use, you may have to convert the
MU10 program numbers to the appropriate
Program Change numbers.
* For more information about Bank Select and
Program Change messages, see About MIDI,
page 24.
■ Effect Types
The MU10 features dozens of extremely versatile
digital effects generated by Yamaha’s advanced
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology—
which add a completely new dimension to your
MU10’s sound.
There are three distinct effect types, or effect
sections, each of which include a variety of
individual effects. There are 11 Reverb type
effects, 11 Chorus type effects, and 43 Variation
type effects. For a complete list of effects, see the
Effect Type List on page 50.
These effects are configured, or routed, in one of
two ways—to be either a System Effect or an
Insertion Effect. The difference is as follows:
• SYSTEM EFFECT
- Applies the designated effect to all 16 Parts.
• INSERTION EFFECT
- Applies the designated effect to only one specific
Part.
Reverb and Chorus effect types are dedicated
System Effects, and therefore are applied to the
overall “mix”. The Variation effect type, however,
can be configured as either a System Effect or an
Insertion Effect. To designate effect types and
parameter values via MIDI messages, see XG
Native Parameter Change, page 30.
* Effects can be applied to A/D Input Sources as
well as the internal voices of the MU10.
MU10 Overview and Features
■ 16 bit A/D Input x 2
The MU10 features A/D INPUT 1, 2 jacks for
connection of external audio sources such as a
microphone, guitar, bass, or CD player.
Audio signals received via A/D INPUT 1 and 2
jacks are mixed to one part, then processed
through the effect sections and mixed with the
internal voices of the MU10. (See “Using the A/D
INPUT Function” on page 18)

About MIDI
■ What is MIDI?
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical
Instrument Digital Interface, which allows
electronic musical instruments to “communicate”
with each other, by sending and receiving
compatible Note, Control Change, Program
Change and various other types of MIDI data, or
messages.
■ MIDI Messages Received by the
MU10
The MU10 is controlled by various types of
incoming MIDI messages which automatically
determine play mode, select MIDI channels,
Voices and effects, change parameter values, and
of course play the Voices specified for the various
Parts—complete with all the subtle nuances and
powerful dynamics of expression that the
composer originally intended. Below is an
explanation of the various types of MIDI messages
which the MU10 can receive.
● Key On/Key Off
Key On/Key Off messages, also called Note
messages, tell the MU10 which notes to play, the
Velocity value (depending on how hard the keys
are struck) at which to play them, and how long to
play them—i.e., when to start (On) and stop (Off)
playing each note.
● Program Change
Program Change messages tell the MU10 which
Voice to select for each Part. You can insert
Program Change messages at any desired location
in a song. Combining Bank Select numbers let you
select various Voices from the hundreds of Voices
available in the MU10.
● Pitch Bend
Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller
messages that allow the pitch of designated notes
to be raised or lowered by a specified amount over
a specified duration.
● Channel Aftertouch
Channel Aftertouch is a pressure sensing function
which lets you control various functions by how
hard you press the keys, over the entire channel.
● Polyphonic Aftertouch
Polyphonic Aftertouch is a pressure sensing
function which lets you control various functions
by how hard you press the keys, for each
individual key.
● System Exclusive
System Exclusive messages control various
functions of the MU10, including master volume
and master tuning, play mode (XG or TG300B),
effect type and various other parameters specifically related to the MU10.
● Control Change
Control Change messages let you select a Voice
bank, control volume, panning, modulation,
portamento time, brightness and various other
controller parameters, through specific Control
Change numbers which correspond to each of the
various parameters.

MIDI Data Format
By sending various types of MIDI messages you can
directly control and change the settings on the MU10.
Please refer to the owner’s manual of your software
and hardware for information about how to transmit
MIDI messages to the MU10.
If the Drum Setup parameter Rcv NOTE OFF (Table
1-6) = OFF, the Drum Part will ignore Key Off
messages.
If the Drum Setup parameter Rcv NOTE ON = OFF
(Table 1-6), the Drum Part will ignore Key On
messages.
■ RECEPTION
1. CHANNEL MESSAGES
1.1 Key On / Key Off
Messages which are generated when the keyboard is
played.
Reception note range = C-2 (0)-G8 (127), C3 = 60
Velocity range = 1-127 (Only the Key On velocity is
received)
Key On: Generated when a key is pressed.
Key Off: Generated when a key is released.
Each message includes a specific note number which
corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a
velocity value based on how hard the key is struck.
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv NOTE MESSAGE
(Table 1-4) = OFF for a specific Part, that Part will
1.2 Control Change
Messages which control volume, panning, and other
controller parameters.
Each type of Control Change message is assigned to a
specific control number.
If the Multi Part parameter for each Control Change
Receive (Table 1-4, nn30-nn40) = OFF, that Part will
ignore the specific Control Change message.
1.2.1 Bank Select
Messages which select variation Voice bank numbers.

MIDI Data Format
You can select the Voice banks with MSB and LSB
numbers. MSB and LSB functions differently
depending on the play mode.
In XG mode, MSB numbers select Voice type
(Normal Voice or Drum Voice), and LSB numbers
select Voice banks. In TG300B mode, LSB is fixed,
and MSB numbers select Voice banks.(See Voice Lists
on page 42 – 49)

EXAMPLE OF PARAMETER CHANGE
1. To change reverb effect type to Stage 1,
first check the Effect Type List (page 50) to
identify the MSB and LSB numbers; for Stage
1 Reverb effect type numbers are MSB = 03,
LSB = 00.
Next, check the Address in Table 1-3 for the
REVERB TYPE parameter; in this case the
address is High, Mid, Low = 02, 01, 00,
respectively.
Apply these to the 2.1.4 XG Native Parameter
Change list as follows:

00000000 00 Data (REVERB TYPE LSB)
11110111 F7 End of Exclusive
When this data is received, the MU10 will
change the effect type to Stage 1 Reverb.
* Any number is OK since the device number for
the MU10 is fixed to “All”.
2. To change the effect Dry/Wet balance of Stage
1 to 50% each,
first check the Effect Parameter List (page 51),
parameter number 10, to identify the Dry
(50%)/Wet (50%); in this case the Dry=Wet
value is 64 (hexadecimal 40).
Next, check the Address in Table 1-3 for the
REVERB PARAMETER 10; in this case the
address is High, Mid, Low = 02, 01, 0B,
respectively.
Apply these to the 2.1.4 XG Native Parameter
Change list as follows:

When this data is received, the MU10 will change
the effect Dry/Wet balance of Stage 1 to 50%
each.
Be sure to allow enough time for the procedure to
take place by inserting an empty measure at the
top of the song for every channel.

initialized accordingly, and XG-compatible
messages such as NRPN and Bank Select messages
can be received. However, A/D part parameter
settings except Variation Send value will be
preserved (Variation Send will be initialized to the
